4 € (the school board) have not considered alternative sites, even in view of the council resolution to hold up expropriation." The dialogue formed the climax of the somewhat stormy, although still confused, meeting. Well over 100 attended, and tried to squeeze words of hope or encouragement out of the five trystees present. They were not rewarded. The homeowners demanded a straight answer as to whether or not they would be expropriated, and when told that they would be, more than half of the audience got up and left. Dr. Christie went on to explain that the board did not think it was in the interests of the expropriated residents to keep them in suspense. ‘"We have considered the alternatives. This is an attempt to satisfy the educational needs of the community." Page 8 One of the more feasible alternatives had been presented by Bert Stollard, a former council member. "We ‘are not just being expropriated for a school, but for a school board. So the board must look for a ornamentation, distinctive side louvers, and other unique features including its own exclusive exterior paint striping.

At the School Board meeting it was discovered that 30 per cent of the expropriated homeowners had approached the Board solicitor for a settlement. Charles Ellis, president of the ratepayers, said he was disappointed and surprised at the news, if true. "How can people think that they alone can do more than a unified group?" he asked. In the efforts to save their homes, residents proposed several alternate sites. But these sites were no good, explained trustee William Bayes. "We have permission to build only an addition to the present building, therefore it has to be built on this site. and rise up." A highâ€"rise school would fit the plan ideally, he stated. Each class could occupy one floor, and communicate by means of stairs, escalators, and moving ramps. He even went as far as suggesting that the building be built on the south side of the lot, in order not to interfere with the sunlight on neighboring properties. way to cover a smaller base, d connections to restricted sections 1969 OLDSMOBILE R rmmr umm _ QP@@0@00000000000000000000000¢000406¢6¢¢¢6¢4 TY SPECIAL .

"Why don‘t you wait for the province to enact the h o m e â€" f o r â€" a â€" h o m e legislation," asked Bob Hewitt, a veteran of many expropriation battles. Trustee Bayes said that it might not even be enacted. "Our policy is almost that which the province has under legislation, in that it goes beyond cash value." | He stated later that the name â€" ‘homeâ€"forâ€"aâ€"home‘ was really a misnomer, and therefore misleading. It is almost impossible to provide another home for the expropriated resident, that would be suitable. When asked what he would do if he were expropriated, Trustee Frank Oke replied jl-luat, if the expropriating body had the Jim Hicks heatedly argued that the Board "leave this school the way it is, and leave these people their homes."

Great news for home hunters! â€" The five school board representatives were repeatedly asked for some designs or plans to prove the need for the extensive site, extending along French,, Pritchard, and Mariposa Ave. The plans have,-' however, not been drawn; up. $ All the hopes of the residents now rest in a meeting of the Joint Use Committee, comprised of representatives of both the council and the school board. After the council decision of a few weeks ago that suggested a halt in expropriations until the province had passed legislation, it was up to Mayor Jack Mould to call such a meeting. Chairman Christie, | however, stoutly denied ever receiving such a request.
